Wake up to the sound of the war drums Rise up, the time has arrived Storm clouds, they brew in your eyes It's time to realize death has no tribe On the frontlines Smoke on the horizon Shadows will fall Shadows will fall Fear don't fail me now I'm on your side Tell me, what is it you believe? Bow down, your ghosts call upon you Pray now, your blood's on the line Focus, the bones will be calling For you to show up and deliver their prize Hush now, forgiveness is over The games are upon you Changing the tide Bleed now, for all you believe in Reap what you sow at the end of all time On the frontlines Smoke on the horizon Shadows will fall Shadows will fall Fear don't fail me now I'm on your side On the frontlines Heavy is the head Heavier the crown Chained against the wall Fate don't fail me now Tell me, what is it you believe?

Dreams so dark you can't relax Dreams that flood against the past Your teeth grind, a fan that drones A ritual that's all your own The need flows through you like a cry A wail of starlight against a tide Choke up a smile just to pretend To put on a face so you fit in Hollow and all alone A devilish grin to hide your soul A need so strong you cannot breathe A need that screams a symphonic shriek And the dark passenger takes over time So you survive Choke up a smile just to pretend To put on a face so you fit in Force a facade to fit the mold A devilish grin to hide your soul You're never alone, never a friend Hell hath no fury when you give in Force a facade to fit the mold A devilish grin to hide your soul

Lonely Star 04:43
I am a lonely star Held together by fire and scars Hungry for their eyes And their tongues for love Won’t you look and see What we could be Won’t you take a moment To breathe with me I laid it all out If you book them they’ll show Is one of the great many lies That we were told Holding my heart in hands As people walk by They bump and shove Like I’m not alive Is nobody, nobody kind? Tell me why And who are you To talk of love? Cause you left me By the side of the road And I was too polite To say anything But please and thank you I brought you to the finish line But it was never your time Was it never worth your time? Well, it’s worth mine Who will carry the weight of This lonely star?

Nobody hears Us sees us, no-- Body cares When all gets low, no Body feels us When we're alone I got me a magical elixir To feel good I got me a miracle fixer So I could stop the lie If I could just exist I might feel real They said all I have to do is Hold perfectly still And they said it would be Temporary The violins have stopped Close your eyes and Yawn It will all be over soon They got me a magical elixir To feel good They gave me a miracle fixer To simulate the lie But if I could just exist The pain might be real You said all I have to do Is hold perfectly still Please make me a stone I cannot do this alone

In the garden Giving, taking You thought you made a bargain A little tit for tat So maybe you'll come again Did you trade for Beauty, truly For something you thought might last? A little nip for tuck So maybe you could erase the past But it's hopeless hanging on a word On a life you can’t afford A promise that comes to never Because when it’s all said and done It's a fool’s errand Dreaming that you could feel at home At peace in your bones I carve your letters Digging, pulling Through the bark of me Fossilized romanticide Will surely turn the tide But here’s the deal we’re Striking, writing The truth to be revealed If all the happy, pretty people Are even real Just when you think to drop your guard When it’s your turn to discard You’ll find it’s not enough And just when you think you're in the clear You’ll have yourself to fear What is or isn’t in the mirror So hey is that you Begging, pleading To make a bargain This fella’s mask is slipping Falling and slipping and pulling off again Maybe if we strike a deal The secret will reveal That all the Happy, pretty people Aren’t actually real

There he goes now Like a bug on the wall Just here to hear all your secrets And I knew you At least I did, or do And they said you loved you With lies on their teeth And I said, who gives a shit anyway? There I go now Like a friend in the hole Just here to tell you my secrets And don't you lie You hate like rabies Your whiskey in bags Your sins like saviors For your self righteous deeds Your trembling need But I knew you At least I did, or do And you said you loved me With lies on your teeth And I believed you like a fool anyway (No more) Why don't ya just hold it in Just hold it in They're watching my chest heave With every breath I take Between the great ravine (All the hate in me) Just let me let you down And I knew you At least I did Or do And they said they loved me With god on their tongues And I said who gives a shit We'll die anyway

Dusk 06:23
Here we talk around in circles Kinda hard to tell Who is kind I never know what to give For what it’s worth Maybe it’s a waste of time And they say the hurt should be crushing And yet, I feel nothing And I have become a bridge to nowhere I thought that they might care, cause I should have known better than To be seen To fall in love with The dusk in between Careful dissection Across memories sewn A sin for having grown Cause I should be finally at home Not chained to An illusion of what you own They say relief should be coming And yet, I feel nothing And I have become a bridge to nowhere I thought that they might care, cause I should have known better than To be seen To fall in love with The dusk in between And all they wished is I had it figured out Figured out Figured out And I hope I hope I hope that you choke on it Cause maybe Just fucking maybe I've known what's best all along And you can choke on it
